Born and raised in Toxteth — the part of Liverpool that the Beatles didn't come from and the tourist trail doesn't reach. Liverpool has one of the most interesting multicultural food cultures in Britain: the oldest established Chinese community in Europe, a large Yemeni community in the south docks area, and the Scouse stew that is the city's own dish and is nothing like what you get in the tourist pubs near Mathew Street. I know which Baltic Triangle street food market is worth going to on a Friday, which Liverpool-Chinese restaurant predates the Chinatown arch, and where to get a proper scouse made from the original dockworkers' recipe.
